Fresh Crafts and Interiors, in Middleton-in-Teesdale, currently sells the work of more than 20 artists and craftspeople, having started with only a dozen.
Based above Cafe Fresh, in Horsemarket, the shop is the brainchild of Jane Addison who wanted to create a space for local people to sell their wares.
She said: “I think we were 12 when we started. I am gobsmacked at how it has grown. Honestly I can’t believe how it has gone on. People say it is an Aladdin’s cave and they cannot believe there are so many gifted people.”
Stock includes paintings, books, knitted items, candles, hand-crafted jewellery and candles among other things.
Ms Addison added: “We have something for everyone. I want to thank our stand holders and customers who have supported us throughout. We are almost at 2,000 footfall.”
The store, which is open between 10am and 4pm every day except Wednesday, celebrated its sixth month of trading on September 18.
